IF we win...I think we will see Zeek take one to the house from 50+ as the return of Smith opens gaping holes to run through. We will see a pass rush bolster the defense with the return of Lawrence. We win the turnover battle.

IF we lose...I think we see a defense that is truly mediocre come crashing back to reality. I think we see our young QB struggle to adjust to the rush and he tosses a pick or two. And worst of all, we see a coaching staff that returns their steadfast we-aren't-adjusting-to-anything mentality.

What do you see coming up this weekend?

I see a big storm hitting Florida coming up this weekend.

I was flipping coin but each time it came up different. I don't have one of those 8 Balls so my best quest is Cincy wins by 3 or Dallas wins by 3.:huh:

I think we see a pass more than 20 yards. Probably to TWill.

If we're really changing it up, it will come from under centre.

Bengals are the most balanced defense talent-wise defense we will face up until this point assuming they are healthy. The good thing is they aren't the biggest DL, unlike the Giants DTs, so we should be able to create some lanes for the running game.Unfortunately their LBs are far superior to the NYG.

Would be a huge boost if Dez were able to play. PacMan and Kilpatrick can probably easily man-up on TWill and Butler w/out much help from the safeties.

There is nothing to come crashing down too. This defense knows exactly what is in front of them. They are not over confident at all if that is what you are saying.
They know they have some very tough work ahead.

Yes, Dak's time is coming, and it will eventually happen. However, we get DLaw back, and Dalton will throw picks as well. Get pressure on him, and rattle him. He throws picks.
However, that is the key...getting pressure on him. I think they can, but will they get the sacks. But if that pressure cause picks, or incomplete passes, that can work also.

I expect the Cowboys to win, actually. Why?

1. They're playing with confidence.
2. Dak is maturing before our eyes.
3. The running game seems to be on track.
4. The defense feeds off the offense
5. We're playing at home.
6. Dez will play and even if he's not 100 percent healthy, he's a worthy decoy.
7. Dak seems to be spreading the ball around well. His favorite receiver seems to be Beasley, but when the Niners doubled Beasley, Dak wasn't reluctant to get the ball the Brice Butler.
8. DLawrence is coming back, and while it may take him some time to get into defensive end shape, he should have fresh legs at the least.
9. I'm still not sold on Andy Dalton.
10. The Bengals are an emotional bunch and can be provoked into personal foul penalties. If we take it to them early, they can lose their cool.

I say ... Cowboys 27 Bengals 20

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't think we will come crashing down. I think our defense will continue to make progress all year. This game will be very telling either way.

If we lose because the "sun was in our eyes". I see curtains for the windows at ATT Stadium. Hell I'll throw in a few bed sheets and sew them myself if Jerry won't.

It will be more of a challenge, that is for sure. Most thought Washington would be too, but that was based on last years Kirk. This years Kirk, he is not the Captain of the ship. LOL.
But the Bengals O & D will be a challenge.

Actually there are black curtains, kind of see through, but it will eliminate the brightness.
They used them a few years ago. Not sure why not on every game when it is sunny.
